"Jumbo, the elephant, loves Alice, the elephant." (U12.1496)
Jumbo the elephant was born in Africa, captured in 1861, and reared in the Jardin des Plantes in Paris. He grew to a huge size (Ht 11.5 ft, Wt 6.5 tons), and worked for 20 years in the London Zoo. He was bought by Barnum for $10.000, crossed the Atlantic amidst enormous publicity, and joined the Barnum & Bailey show in 1882. He was hit by a train and died in 1885.

Jumbo was immensely popular. His name became synonymous with 'huge' or 'gigantic.' He is seen here on 2 period trade cards, titled 'Prospective Fun for the Children' and 'Reaching for Candy.'
While in the Jardin des Plantes in Paris, Jumbo was exhibited alongside Alice, an African female elephant. I have not found her picture yet.

"What about sanctimonious Cromwell and his ironsides" (U12.1507)
The back of this cigarette card reads: "Oliver Cromwell (1599 - 1658). Lord Protector of England, was born in Huntingdon, 1599. He showed great audacity in opposing the government of Charles I. He joined the parliamentary army, initiated important military reforms, commanded all the horse, and became one of the greatest cavalry leaders in history. At Marston Moor (1644) he earned the name of Ironsides from the strength of his troops which could not be broken. Totally defeated Charles I at the decisive battle of Naseby (1645) and at Worcester (1651) finally aniihilated the royalist forces. Cromwell's art of war was two centuries in advance of his time. He was brave and fearless, and a man of truth and justice. He died in 1658."
